In this webinar, Ofsted provide an outline of the updates to the school inspection handbook for maintained schools and academies, including the removal of the overall effectiveness judgement, changes to ungraded inspections and other changes as a result of the Big Listen.

​

In this webinar, we discuss our new approach to ungraded inspections from September 2024. We explain:
- the changes that have been made and why we have made them
- the inspection process - from initial phone call to feedback
- focus areas - what they are, how they will be identified with school leaders and how they will inform and guide inspectors as they gather evidence.

Ofsted discusses inspections and teacher workload. We dispel some of the common misconceptions about inspections and explain how we consider the workload and well-being of leaders and staff on inspection.

Webinar held on 9 May for schools on how Ofsted has modified its approach in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Includes clarification and reassurance on inspection timings and how inspectors look at: the impact of COVID-19 on a school; attendance; curriculum and catch-up; evaluating impact; and personal development.

Ofsted webinar on how inspectors inspect against the education inspection framework (EIF) in primary schools. Includes clarification on deep dives, subject leadership in primary schools, and early reading.
